I'm trying to organize my MB Pro by moving all my jpeg files to a single folder from the desktop. There are some on the desktop that are not in any folder. I was at the command line and typed

Code:

mv *.jpg "Jpeg files"

but it only moved the files that were on the desktop, not any of the ones that were in any subdirectories. I'm forgetting something here -- can someone tell me how to get all the jpeg files (or any other files of a type, for that matter) -- no matter which subdirectory they're in -- and move them to the designated folder I want?

Reason: Please use code tags for code and data samples, thank you

echo just display the command : nothing will be done, it will just show the commands that are built.
If it builds the command as you expected, remove the
echo so that it will run the move command for real.
